December is Hi Neighbor Month, which is an interesting thing to celebrate during the time of the year. It is a monthly observance that reminds us to remember our neighbors and those around us. This month is a good month to get to know your neighbors. It is also a good month to rekindle friendships with neighbors you may have lost touch with throughout the years.

The majority of us are aware that the elderly in particular, are vulnerable to loneliness. Mainly this is due to the loss of a spouse, often combined with the onset of frailty; an unfortunate bi-product associated with old age which disenables them from venturing far from home. But loneliness doesn’t just affect the elderly, it can affect any generation from school children to the elderly.
